I'll admit I like new toys and besides quitting analog vaping brings me plenty of enjoyment with the search for good flavor.

It seems as of late every month the sub ohm race is getting a bit more competitive.

I first bought a couple Atlantis tanks and I will say I love the way it vapes, my flavor is great the clouds are thick and with the added SS designer tank it's a looker.

However after all the freaking bad press on the coils I will admit It kind of freaked me out a bit.

Well then along comes the Kanger Sub tank with its good looks and great set up plus it uses what most consider norm now with the OCC coils there went another trip to the shop and picked up a couple mini's.

The Kanger is a great tank I have no complaints as of yet it doesn't hit as hard IMHO as the Atlantis and seems the flavor is slightly muted but over all great vaping experience.

Next out come the Joytech Delta II offering up some what the same as the Kanger tank I am still waiting for the post to arrive with mine as my local shops have not even heard of it.

Now getting to the meat of the thread welcome the Horizon Arctic.

I happened along this jem as I needed some more juice and my local shop said there selling like hotcakes.

It's a nice looking tank one that appeals to me as I like the plain Jane SS look

Here are the specs

A true sub-ohm tank that can vape at up to 100 watts.

Features include:

  • 0.2 ohm & 0.5 ohm resistance coil heads
    • USA-made Kanthal wire used in the coils
    • Organic cotton wick
  • BTC (Bottom Turbine Coil) technology
  • 12mm intake holes
  • Adjustable airflow
  • 10W-100W
  • 304 stainless steel construction
  • 3ml juice capacity

I've got to say this Tank is good! the 4 adjustable airflow can pour in massive amounts of air and very quiet compared to the Atlantis and Kanger tanks.

I've vaped a couple tanks of juice and the flavor is a little better than the Atlantis.

I think the construction is good seems like a quality piece.

I'm vaping it using the .5 ohm (a .2 ohm is also included) on my IPV2S @ 25 watts and so far so good.

I just heard about these today I think I might wait to find a good deal on it before jumping on it. Id really like to try a .2 prebuilt coil and see how it compares, how drippers react to it etc. No shop around here have it and I dont want to spend 45 bucks on it when my subtank is still on its first coil lol

150w?? :ohmy: I've seen people running around 120w. I've chain vaped @ 100w but stopped since this thing guzzles juice. I just ordered the High Voltage tank which is similar...rated @100w but has a 5ml capacity and only has an option of 0.2ohm coils. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/655111-high-voltage-tank.html

March is going to be crazy with these new sub ohm tanks. We've got the Starre by Freemax, the Herakles by Sense & the Sniper by HeatVape. I can't wait to see what Aspire and Kanger come up with.......

Kanger could easily throw a head change in but we know it will be another whole tank. The shame of it all is none of this new wave seems to have decent numbers to meet the sudden demand. If a single one produced tens of thousands and flooded the market vs what seems like hundreds to test the market they'd get that critical installed base to guarantee future income from replacement heads and become the name synonymous with 100 watt tanks. You already see arctics up on ebay from a vulture charging double.

Frustrates me cause I've been working out of town and have paid little attention to the subohm tank scene after I got my Subtank mini. Now I've been searching today for what's hitting now and there's nothing in stock anywhere. I refuse to feed the scum profiteering on ebay so now I'm in the waiting for restock boat. :(

Hey Zod. vapestreet.com has the High Voltage tank in stock. I just checked. I bought it last week and IMO it is the best sub ohm tank out there right now. Incredible airflow, adjustable airflow even on the drip tip. Holds 5ml of juice. You can adjust the top of the tank to open or close the wicking holes. Handles up to 100 watts ! Just have to make sure that your mod can fire a .2 ohm coil. I haven't used my Dark Horse RDA since getting this tank. It's $44.99 dont know if that's going to come down in the future but to me it was worth it. It was designed by someone in the USA but its made in China like everything else. Nice looking tank also. Not knocking any of the new tanks out there. From what I hear their good also. Have a good day ! P.S. I bought the spare coils from vaporsource.com

Thanks Dom although that night after combing TONS of sites I found the Arctic at Gaslight vapor supply for $39 and snagged 2 of em. Still thinking of grabbing an HV just for the looks and there's enough vapers around me that I could always find a home for it. The only reason I was exclusively looking for an Arctic is that's the one with all the hype around it right now. This of course has zero consequence of if it's the 'best' but the one everyone talks about = the one everyone buys = the one that will have a longer support cycle from the manufacturers of replacement heads, tanks, etc. With the vaping industry's products having life cycles that can be counted in weeks you spend as much time looking for something that will last as will perform. :(:(

Glad you got them. I'm going to get an Artic or a Starre for my son. Only reason is he has the God Mod and it wont fire the High Voltage being that it's .2 ohms and the God Mod only goes down to like.4ohms. I'll get him the Artic with .5 coils and he'll be good. I'm absolutely loving the High Voltage. Been using it for about a week and it's hands down the best tank I've ever owned.

I'm sure many of you that have been looking for one has been on the wait list as these sold out and the restock I've been told from a few places will be the week of March 16th. sorry for those soles that purchased them for $70 plus on the bay.

I have been using this off and on with my Atlantis and I've almost put the Kanger sub tank mini away completely as these 2 really perform.

Now updating my experience with the Arctic.

For me I Vape a 80/20 combo of Beard 32, Beard 05, 365 and a dash of cotton tail cream it's a very sweat all day vape.

In the Atlantis (melo coils) the flavor is very in your face leaves you literally licking the insides of your lips on exhale very nice.

Using the Arctic .5 ohm coils for some reason I do not get that nice pop of flavors however with there .2 coils I get the same sweat sweat flavor.

Enjoy

How are you liking the Melo coils in the Atlantis? How much power do they handle compared to the aspires? I'm down to my last two coils and have been thinking about trying out the Melo coils but don't want to be disappointed. Also out of 12+ coils I've yet to get a dud (knock on wood).

That's interesting...So you're noticing a difference in quality between the .5 & .2 coils? I'm going to have to pay more attention when I switch back n forth between the two.

The flavor is a little more pronounced with he Melo coils I'v been running them @ 20-25W no burning.
The coils seem to be about the same in longevity.
